looking for some pointers in the right direction!
I’ve been stuck in a rut for an exceptionally long time, significantly overweight, tired and no get up and go.
Until last summer I was in a fast paced full time leadership role alongside being a busy mum and I laid a lot of blame on that for not prioritising my own health and wellbeing. However, my DH threw me a lifeline of moving roles to a less stressful job part-time to help balance stress and family life and give me time to work on my health. DH works away so I solo parent in the week!
Im lucky to have minimal medical issues alongside my weight but emotionally I really struggle with it. I am desperate to lose weight and be comfortable in myself where I can wear clothes I like and enjoy. I have tried many programmes, hypnotherapy and dieticians through the GP and I always seem to fall off the wagon. As a result I always end up back in a cycle of binge eating and finding it hard to be motivated and lift my mood.
A lot of people are talking about the weight loss injections but I am terrified of some of the long term side effects and feel disheartened that I would have to admit I couldn’t do it under my own steam so to speak! Although I don’t have many health implications now the chances are I will be limiting my life staying as I am!
Grateful for any advice, guidance or stories on whether I’m being unreasonable in ruling these out entirely and ultimately continuing to make like hard for myself when I have the time to make changes but struggle to keep them up!
